Saint Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC) is 50 years old! The electricity company observes the milestone anniversary on Tuesday, July 1, 2014.

LUCELEC Managing Director Trevor Louisy says the occasion is a cause for celebration and reflection, a time to “celebrate what we have accomplished, yes, but also to reflect on what lies ahead, regroup, and prepare ourselves for the next 50 years.”

The LUCELEC Managing Director adds, as significant a milestone as this is, in commemorating the occasion, the company is mindful of the current operating environment.

Saint Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC) has begun exploratory works to establish a substation in Ti Rocher, Castries.

The works include creating an access path to the proposed site for the team undertaking the geotechnical study. An environmental impact assessment (EIA) study will also be conducted. The results of these will inform decisions on the design of the substation and associated works. If the results of the studies are favourable, the project is expected to get underway in 2016.

Saint Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC) is a Gold Sponsor of the seven member Saint Lucia Team that will leave the island on Friday June 27, 2014 to compete in the regional “Taste of the Caribbean Culinary Competition”.

Saint Lucia’s Culinary Team is led by Chef Elijah Jules and includes Refer Leonce, Martha Hippolyte, Peter Lawrence, Caron Jean, Sharma Peter and Bartender Alva Preville.

The food maestros represent a number of hotels across the island and were chosen from national competitions held on Wednesday April 2, 2014 among twelve (12) chefs.
